I learned about snow quality with this shot. You want to have a heavy snow that sticks - this provides the contrast with the darkness of the limbs. This shot doesn't quite get there because the outside temperature was so warm that the snow was melting as fast as the flakes were landing. Therefore, not much accumulation on the limbs. Also, it was snowing heavily with large, heavy flakes and this snowfall got in the way of the subject.

It was fun to set up the tripod and have a go, though!

Daybreak in Dallas

I figured this might be yours. I'd be willing to bet your shot was taken within minutes of my own snowy morning shot, just south of DFW airport. I'm kicking myself for not bringing the SLR with me that day.

I'm so glad we were able to share some snow with the people in the south. Nice shot. 7
